Historical information – Dornier Do 335 B-6

The Dornier Do 335 was one of the most technologically advanced fighters of the late WWII period. Its unique layout, with two propellers powered by a front and rear engine, provided unprecedented speed (up to 765 km/h) and maneuverability for such a large machine. The Do 335 was designed to fulfill various roles, from fighter to bomber and reconnaissance versions, with the B-6 version, represented by the Dragon 5010 kit, intended for night interception missions. The aircraft was operated by the Luftwaffe – Luftstreitkräfte des Deutschen Reiches – in the final stage of WWII. Unfortunately, German capitulation prevented the widespread deployment of these planes. The Do-335 B-6 remained rare – only a few units were produced, mainly in 1945.
